Whimsy Stamps - June Release Blog Hop Day 2

Happy Tuesday and thanks so much for visiting!

Yesterday some the Whimsy Stamps Designers kicked off the June Rubber Stamps and Dies release week by hosting the first blog hop of the month, and today we are continuing the fun with  another blog hop. And of course another chance to win a Whimsy Prize.

The hop links can be found at the bottom of my post. All you have to do is visit each Designer's blog and leave a comment at each stop - the prize is hidden in in one of the designer's blogs.

Today we are showing you creations made with stamps illustrated by Mi Ran, Krista Heij-Barber and Elisabeth Bell.

I decided to ink up the cute stamp Tea Time Mouse, from the Krista Heij-Barber collection. And here is my creation.

This little mouse actually made a big tea mess on the original stamp, but I decided to fussy cut the teacup and leave the mess off :-) 

I kept my card design pretty simple, by using a simple sketch and embellished with only a little button and twine. The fun postmark sentiment is part of a set also releasing this week - simple sayings postage package. I cut it out using Whimsy's s mini postage die, which is from an older release. Designer paper is very old, from Stampin Up.

PRIZE ALERT ... We have hidden a fabulous prize of a $15 GIFT CERTIFICATE at one of the stops on today’s hop!

Wings for Penny Black and More - June Challenge

Good Morning!! First Sunday of the new month already, and so it's time for our new
Penny Black and More Challenge.

Come join the fun for a chance to win some fabulous prizes for our very generous sponsors! This month we have prizes from Penny Black, All Occasion Dies, Sizzix and Kraftyhands. Lots of fun stuff to be won!!

Our theme this month is 
Wings - real, fantasy, or fiction

For my card today I inked up one of my first favorite Penny Black stamps - Water Lily skiing. Had to have this one when I discovered the company several years ago (just wish I had discovered them sooner!!!) This cute stamp is also available in my Etsy Stamp Shop. Speaking of my shop, I did just recently add some of the newest release stamps and a couple dies to my shop for US shipping :-)

I colored the image with copic markers, then created a mask to ink the background using SU and distress inks. The butterfly was stamped separately and fussy cut to fit my card design. 

I thought this sentiment was perfect for our challenge theme! It's from the newer Penny Black set "snippets", another one I have available in my shop.

The sketch is pretty simple, I just added a couple designer papers, some twill ribbon and twine, and embossed simple white lines on the top portion of the card. Sentiment was tucked under the image circle, and I embellished with some sequins, and glitter on the wings.

Guess Whooo...Just For You

Busy busy week, but I managed to create this cute card this morning with one of the images I colored playing along in  #thedailymarker30day2 challenge hosted by Kathy.

I didn't get to color anything new yesterday, and probably won't have time to do it today either, but at least I got to make something with some of the images I colored. 

The image was stamped onto copic blending card and colored with copics. Fussy cut and then adhered it onto the assembled card, where I had re- stamped the image again (because I didn't fussy cut the flourish branches and balloon string).

Sentiment is from the set "Everyday Sayings". I embellished with some die cut glittered stars and twine.

Sprinkles and Smiles

We're just about off to swim team practice and dance rehearsal, but I wanted to quickly share this card I made with one of the new Penny Black stamps from the set U R the Gift. 

Colored this cutie with copic markers and used a nestabilities shape to cut it out. Sentiment is also from Penny Black, from the sentiment set "Sprinkles and Smiles". I used Whimsy's Stitched Border Die Set to cut the shapes on the bottom.
